Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 550 A Marriage?

Chapter 550 A Marriage?

??Raze was just about to inform Alba of something that might ruin the relationship the two of them had: the partnership between the Crimson Crane and the Dark Magus. They had been of significant use and help to Raze since he had arrived at Pagna, but in the end, his morals, which he wanted to uphold, took precedence over the importance of his relationship with them.

That was until Rayna interrupted them and blurted out a few words. His mind had almost gone blank.

"We need to get married, now!" Rayna shouted.

She couldn't find the right time to speak these words or how to phrase it, and after going over multiple different ways she could say these words, she ended up just shouting it out.

Many who were walking the streets had overheard and turned to look.

"How sweet it is to be so young!"

"She is a brave one to shout that out at the top of her lungs; do you think it's a type of disagreement that's going on between them?"

Hearing the words of the passersby was causing her face to turn a shade brighter than it was before, and she eventually was too ashamed and looked to the ground.

"I can't believe someone of my status… it's so hard to say a few words," Rayna mumbled to herself.

Alba was constantly turning her head because she couldn't believe it either.

"Wait a moment, this was the whole reason why you were looking for him, this is why you were searching, because the two of you need to get married!" Alba had to ask just to make sure, but judging by how Rayna was acting, it all seemed to be true.

Thinking about this matter a bit more, though, there was now another worry on Alba's mind. The Dark Magus was a part of the Crimson Crane Clan.

If he was to marry Rayna, who was in the Neverfall Clan, then what would happen? Wouldn't that cause them trouble? There was no way the Crimson Crane could contend with the Neverfall Clan if they wanted to take the Dark Magus.

'As a leader, it looks like I might have to let him go,' Alba thought.

Raze, hearing about the marriage, started to remember what had occurred in the Demonic Faction the last time. He knew that this wasn't pressure from Rayna, but from her father.

It had slipped his mind with everything else going on because it was the least important thing that was on his list of things to do.

'It looks like the cat's out of the bag,' Raze looked at Anna. 'She must be incredibly confused and wondering how I even know all these people and how it came to this.'

'I won't have to worry about her though; she is mostly concerned about finding Zon, and she is sure to stay on my good side until that happens.'

Thinking about this, Raze felt like even though Anna from Alter was by his side, he could just speak as if he wanted.

"But, I'm currently in the Crimson Crane," Raze said. "I have made a commitment to their clan before any others. If the two of us were to get married, wouldn't it ruin that relationship?"

Rayna lifted her head and shook it rather quickly.

"No, it wouldn't," Rayna answered. "If anything, it would strengthen our relationship. Some clans grow in power through marriage and relations, and this would be the same."

"You could still be a part of the Crimson Crane no problem."

Although Rayna said this, Raze still wasn't so sure about that just yet.

"Besides, my father, he doesn't want me to carry the name of the Neverfall Clan; instead, he has given us land as a wedding gift in the Demonic Faction. Here he wishes for the two of us to create our own Clan, as a subdivision of the Neverfall Clan, so it wouldn't be a problem at all," Rayna explained.

The idea of having land in the Demonic Faction was quite pleasing for Raze to hear. The Demonic Faction was the place where Raze could run to when he had his troubles.

Having his own land and area to be protected was music to his ears, but making an entire clan sounded like a lot of work as well and didn't sound as if he would have as much freedom.

But he could also have Rayna do most of the duties related to that.

"That is interesting," Alba said with her hand on her chin. "It seems like the Neverfall Clan can expand their influence in the Demonic Faction, ruffling fewer feathers this way.

"Especially if it's treated as a separate clan, but by being a subdivision, it also states that whoever tries to mess with you will be messing with the Neverfall Clan as well."

"If this works, it might be the first time a successful subdivision clan exists in the Demonic Faction. In the past, I have heard the other clans tried to do this, but they would be eliminated before there was a chance."

"Which is why there's this status quo in the Demonic Faction," Alba explained.

It was certainly interesting, Raze thought, but those words meant that as soon as they were married and occupied the area, there was a chance that they would be targeted as well.

'In this situation, is being targeted a bad thing though?' Raze thought. 'Isn't it a chance to grow stronger as well?'

There was just one more question on Raze's mind before he spoke.

"Is there an easy way to come through between the Dark And Demonic Faction? I only just got back to the Dark Faction after all," Raze explained.

"We have our ways," Rayna answered. "But the wedding ceremony is a big event. Most likely all the Demonic Faction Clan heads will be invited.

"The after events of the ceremony will last a while, but then, the martial arts tournament will have started. If you really want to head back to the Dark Faction, that will be your easiest time, and once we're done, I don't think my father will bother us anymore," Rayna answered and bowed down again. She felt like she was inconveniencing the Dark Magus.

Still, after giving it some thought, since Raze didn't know what his next step was going to be, he had come up with an answer.

"Fine, I will head back to the Neverfall Clan with you. We can get married," Raze answered.

Rayna slowly lifted up her head; she couldn't believe it. Was it really going to happen? She was already trying to come up with something to tell her father, but instead, she heard the Dark Magus say yes.

'The past Dark Faction founder had a close relationship with the Neverfall Clan,' Raze thought. 'It might be best if I were to have a close relationship with them as well.'

"I can't believe it," Alba smiled with her hands on her hips. "You are becoming quite the influential character. At the rate you are going, it might be best if you were the leader of the Crimson Crane, rather than me."

Hearing Alba speak of those matters made his mind snap to what he needed to say before.

"Actually, Alba, there is something I need to tell you," Raze stated.
